Shakespeare莎士比亚生平及成就When I was a little child, I was attracted by literature. I like Hans Christian Andersen’s stories very much at that time. Later, I started to read Four Great Classical Novels and other foreign masterpieces. So, I met him someday.In western literary history, only very individual writers were qualified to be judged as “without him, the literary will become another way”. He is one of them, the greatest playwright and poet in the history. He is also a time spirit, and belongs to all but not belong to the century. Who is he? He is Shakespeare, the greatest man in my heart.Shakespeare was born in a wealthy family in Britain. He was studied in “literary school" when he was young. But because his father went bankrupt, he failed to graduate and had to go alone on the road to earn a living.He worked as a butcher's apprentice, taught in rural schools, and also worked in other occupations, which made him accumulate a lot of social experience. When he was 20 year old, he entered the theater and worked as an actor, director and screenwriter. He started to write in 1588, first is recomposing the previous script, but soon began to independent creation.Shakespeare entered the aristocratic culture salon later, which expanded his vision of life. It also provided a rich source for his creation. Generally, Shakespeare's drama creation can be divided into three periods:The first period (1590 ~ 1600) in this period, Shakespeare mainly wrote historical drama and comedy. He left 9 historical drama, 10 comedies and 2 tragedies to us.These historical dramas summed up the British history more than 100 years of unrest, created a series of positive, negative image of monarchy, which reflected Shakespeare against the feudal rule, supported the centralization of power, condemned the tyrant and tyranny, required enlightened monarchs took top-down reform, suggested to establish a harmonious society based on humanistic political and moral ideal.The second period(1601~1607) in this period,Shakespeare mainly wrote tragedy, finished 3 Department of the Rome opera,5 tragedies and 3" dark comedy" or" problem plays".Four tragedies:" Hamlet,"" Othello"," King"," Mike white" and" tragedy Timon of Athens" marked of the era, the life of the deep thinking, and strove to create the new era of tragic hero.The third period (1608~ 1613) in this period, Shakespeare mainly inclined to write compromise and the illusion of tragedy and comedy or drama.Many of these works were written about reunion and framing. Although they were still adhere to the ideals of humanism, and the dark reality has been exposed, but contradictory settlement mainly rely on magic, fantasy, the lucky chance coincidence and the accident, and to the end by promoting forgiveness, tolerance, compromise.The works of this period are often through the mythical fantasy, with the help of supernatural power to solve the contradiction between the ideal and reality. And theywere full of beautiful life fantasy, romantic exotic appeal.After I read most of his works, I realized that Shakespeare is a great master of language. He absorbed the people's language, the essence of ancient and modern literary language. He could choose to write poetry or prose according to the characters and plot. And these works were always lively and full of image. Many of my classmates are fond of his famous remarks and we can also find his remarks on the wall of our school.“Romeo and Juliet” was a bridge that connected me with Shakespeare.I still remembered that I was crying after I finished “Romeo and Juliet”. At that time, I was too young to understand the meaning of this masterpiece. At my age, I imagined everything was beautiful, and I thought everything should have good results. I would very sad when I faced with bad ends. But now, with the age grows, my understanding becomes more and more profound. I realize that everything should experience the twists and turns in their life. This masterpiece not only praised Romeo and Juliet’s pure and beautiful love and their courage that dare to seek for freedom, but also attacked the traditional concept of human spiritual oppression. The end of the part glared the light of humanity. Romeo and Juliet's death transformed real life pattern and affected on their families heavily, which made the future living in two feuding families of young people not to repeat their fate. They used their young lives to foreshadow their hopeful tomorrow. "Romeo and Juliet" was worthy of a tragedy with optimism. It gave us a deep enlightenment, which was important for our future.Shakespeare, you are always the greatest man in our heart, we will continue to enjoy the beauty and the enlightenment of your masterpiece!。
